Paloma and her dog Ginger guide us through twenty-four hours into the stories, dreams and fantasies of five residents at Sarah House, a small, social-model hospice for unhoused men and women in Santa Barbara CA facing their last six months of life. The play comes from stories told by its staff and residents and their exploration of the good death inspired by Greek myth, dreamwork and the surprises that can come from a mission of "unrelenting kindness."
